Hey bud, best way I found with these is to shut the valve and time how long it takes to lose that vacuum. If valve stem seals arent in you can put temporary ones in using a bit of latex tubing cut and slipped over the valve and valve guide. Nice work.
@pumphodl95404 ай бұрын
Reason is because these vacuum pumps are powerful they can pull a decent vac on a leaky valve! The pro ones use very small CFM so no need to isolate. But with a pump like this you want to be shutting that valve I think so you can isolate the pump from the system.

The issue is the MOTOR OIL used during Break In fellows. Also, if you can, like I did, have your camshaft NITRIDED for an additional $150 from Comp. That, along with a good break in oil with a GOOD AMOUNT of ZZDP (and/or the addition of ZZDP Additive like Rislone makes and I use) will get the cam broken in without issues. Modern engine oils have been stripped of Zink and Phosphorus that help "lube" and protect the cam lobe surfaces from premature wear during the critical first 15-20 minutes of running. Also, you must bring your engine up to at least 2000 rpm so that the lifters will spin and wear evenly. I have had a Comp Cam go flat once (it is about the only brand I use on SBC's). They replaced the cam and the lifters for me and that's when I started having them Nitrided and using additional ZZDP for the break in period. Pops

Wow brings back memories when I was only 10 years old when they gave my dad the same honor and respect on his resting day
I'm glad he got the honor he deserved!
@@martywilsonwilsonenginesho7940 the thing is my dad never told us he served in the military he took it to the grave with him and my mother never knew anything about his past
The military can clam you up. Dad didn't talk about his Navy role much but he never liked to go for a boat ride with me on my boat, a nice big safe Cobalt. Something changed him about water mom thought.

hi bro I just see your post on DSM tuner, I'm looking for AEM EMS V1 files, i'm the one galant swap 4g63t fwd
I don't have any AEM stuff. Tag Darren Thomas Racing out of OKC and he could help you. He's the only one I know running an AEM V1.
@@martywilsonwilsonenginesho7940 what's his username? I can't find him bro
I do know if he has a KZread channel. I don't do FB shit but I do believe he is on there and also Dsmtuners as @Darren Thomas Racing over on the forum.
So cool!
Thanks Kurt. It is a full time job. The red car motor had an "issue" so stay "tuned" for the fresh shortblock. :-)
Thanks Kurt, unfortunately I lost something in the bottom end a few weeks ago so a new motor is being prepped for taking the car to the track. I know I had my 10.xxx street car! Thanks for following!
You have to be committed to make it happen!😊
thats sick man
Very cool Marty! Keep up the good work
I'm trying Aaron, I'm getting old so not as fast or energetic as I was 10 years ago or so. Thanks for following along! I'm still trying to have FUN!!!
Sounds pretty decent to me, Marty... Love the clear timing belt cover
Thank you Larry! It was tricky to get to work with the AEM Gears as they are thicker than stock but I made a solution for it on the DSMTuners.com website. I space the front cover OUT with some washers to keep the clear upper cover from rubbing on them and it evidently works. I don't hear any sounds from them. I drove it half a mile and back and boy is that twin disk clutch a touchy unit!!! Killed the car 3 times getting it to the road lmao. Thanks for following along, it's been quite a few years since this car has ran.
cool! ...in more ways than one lol
That is awesome and ingenious
Thanks guys. It's been a LONG JOURNEY!
Looks good man
Very exciting marty! 😎💪
Well fellas, its still holding up after 5 years in 3 other cars. I didn't get to show tinning the end of the 6ga wire I was working with. When it requires crimping, I'm pretty sure we have a video on that also. But thanks. Brazing is a bit too much. Resistance at crimp points makes extra heat.
Crimp then solder.
